Consultant in Cardiology in Devon

We are inviting applications for a Consultant in Cardiology. We are particularly keen to see applicants with a sub-specialty interest in imaging (CT/cardiac MRI and/or advanced echo), although other interests will be considered. There is also the opportunity to support further development of specialist clinical services in Adult Congenital Heart Disease or Cardiomyopathy/Inherited Cardiac Conditions.

Whether you are embarking on your consultant career or looking for your next step, you'll find a welcoming, ambitious and collaborative department. You'll be encouraged and supported in this varied role, where you can make a real impact through service development, teaching and research.

Devon provides the opportunity to build a rewarding and fulfilling clinical career while enjoying an outstanding quality of life. The region offers two national parks, dramatic coastlines, vibrant cultural cities and extensive outdoor activities.

As a key member of the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will be joining an exceptional team working together to help our patients to stay healthy, when they need it most.

Stretching across Northern, Eastern and Mid Devon, we have a workforce of over 15,000 staff, making us the largest employer in Devon. Our core services, which we provide to more than 615,000 people, cover more than 2,000 square miles across Devon, while some of our specialist services cover the whole of the peninsula, extending our reach as far as Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

We deliver a wide range of emergency, specialist and general medical services through North Devon District Hospital and the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford). Alongside our two acute hospitals, we provide integrated health and social care services across a variety of settings, including community inpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics, and within people's own homes. We also offer primary care services, a range of specialist community services, and Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARC).

Our state-of-the-art equipment, leading technologies and strong links to local universities put us at the forefront of research and innovations, enabling us to provide world-class care to our local communities.

It's never been a more exciting time to join the Royal Devon, as you'll help to shape our services as we continue along our integration journey.

As an inclusive employer, the Royal Devon values diversity and is committed to creating a culture of inclusivity where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, cultures, and abilities. We recognise the advantages of having a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

We will work together to maintain a culture that develops and supports you and your team. This might include funding for a care certificate, a degree or leadership qualifications. Or it might include days off to study, engage in CPD or rotational placements to help you hone your skills. Wherever you are heading in the NHS, we'll help you get there.

Looking after you is important to us. We strive to help our staff create a healthy work-life balance through flexible working schemes and our family friendly policies. If you're starting out in the NHS, you'll start with 32 days paid annual leave (plus bank holidays), rising to 34 days annual leave (plus bank holidays).

You'll benefit from access to our own comprehensive occupational health services, including counselling, onsite wellbeing activities and groups. Salary is not the only financial benefit. You'll have access to an extensive range of staff discounts on shopping, fitness and leisure options and you can spread the cost of technology and home appliance purchases from major retailers.

You will also have access to other benefits including:

• National discount services such as the Blue Light Card and Health Service Discounts.
• Salary sacrifice options including our OFSTED rated outstanding nursery onsite at Exeter.
• Car lease schemes.

These are just a few of the benefits available if the role is something you are interested in, we'd love to hear from you.
